The Archdiocese of Cebu said the image was brought by Monsignor Jan Thomas Limchua, a Cebuano priest.
The archdiocese shared the photos of the occasion from the Facebook page of Limchua, Saturday, Feb. 20.
In a separate post, CBCP News said the Cebu-crafted image of the child Jesus will remain with Mons. Limchua, who will endorse it to the Bisaya Community in Rome for the use of their Sinulog activities.
Limchua is an official of the Section for the Relations with States of the Secretariat of the State of the Holy See.
In October 2020, the priest was also appointed as papal chaplain.
